What are these parts worth?

I have a similar question about a stock bulkhead and hatch cover (good, not perfect condition) and a pair of open-chamber heads complete with valves and springs (used condition). Anyone interested?

Larss,
Any pics of the bulkhead cover? I might be interested.

The problem with the "tub" is shipping cost. Almost has to be a local sale.

It's not really heavy, just bulky. Regardless, can anyone estimate what the parts are worth?

Hey Danny,

just where is Shang Hai, exactly?

And that fiberglass tub is what makes the pantera a road worthy traveling vehicle, because it gives you tons of luggage/tool space. No other mid engined car comes close.

My advice - drill two holes in the back edge, hammer two nails in your garage rafters, and hang it there. Out of the way, easily reached.

Works for me.

Shang Hai, China. Roadworthy? You obviously haven't driven my car. Only two things I need are ear plugs and a neck-brace!

I don't want this big, ugly bucket hanging from my rafters...perhaps I'll use it to mix cement.

Regarding the cement mixer, bulky parts are more expensive to ship than heavy parts.

My advice would be to keep the trunk tub as Larry suggested. You never know when you may decide you could use it.

For instance, a gorgeous lady asks you to take her for a country drive & PICNIC in your sexy Italian hot rod. Where does the picnic basket go?

LOL. I took my girlfriend out to dinner last Sat. in the Pantera. She wanted to take a taxi home from the restaurant..."I'm never getting in that "thing" again!" were her exact words...

Best to see someones true colors now. I agree. Find someone who at least likes cars.

Maybe not, George. At least now there is a valid reason to keep her out of it.

Oh, she loves the 993, but that's parked way in the back of the warehouse now that I have the Pantera...

Okay, so we know Shang Hai is in China, next question is where are you?

I guess free enterprise in China IS paying off!

Danny,

Your English is way too 'normal' for us to accept you are a native Chinese owner.

But IF you really are in China, how about a photo of you and the car by some nice Chinese highway road sign?

Larry

Danny, please excuse all the questions. Some of the brothers are tougher on the new members than others. I promise, you'll still be able to get the secret sign and all other rituals of the "brotherhood."


Okay, you old guys, do we have any of these?

Shang Hai is spelled Shanghai. The Porsche doesn't have Chinese plates.

In time, Grasshopper. All in its own time.

You must learn patience.

We're not allowed to drive cars other than Chinese here...I have these hidden away in my rickshaw depot:

So...now that we have the formalities out of the way...can anyone tell me what my engine compartment "bucket" and front/rear bumpers are worth?

Thanks again,

I heard you can ship the tub via Greyhound for about $50 in the US, problem is I don't think Greyhound routes extend to China

I'd guess the Tub is worth $200, Wilkinson quotes $340 new.
The 74 bumpers are a different story, if they are real good condition maybe $75 each. I've seen them on Ebay and not even gather a bid. The front fiberglass replacement is far superior and not prone to the waving from the OEM internal steel center rusting.

Larss;

If the fibreglass bulkhead cover is still available, I would be interested. I have seen them sell on on Ebay for between $100-140.

DannyOcean;

Don't know what the trunk is worth but the rear 74L bumper is worth about $100. The front 74L rubber bumper in very good condition can fetch at least $300.

Well, they don't rust and/or get waves in the rubber but some of them were about two inches too short and once you know what you are looking for, they stand out like a sore thumb.

I found an OEM, NOS perfect no-wave front for $1200 when I had my accident.

Gee, I really don't think you'd be giving away too much with something like S CA, or Ohio.

You might even find out you have Pantera soul mates around the corner if any of us knew where you really were.

By the way, what is your DOB and S.S.#

Danny, with the expanding economy and such in China do you expect to be able to drive those in the future? That is very cool. What year the TA? I have a 73:

There's plenty of foreign cars driven in Shanghai. You should hide the rickshaws in your rickshaw warehouse. They've been banned in China since the communist takeover in 1949.

Nice T/A (oh...and the Pantera ain't so bad, either...)! My '74 T/A was a street-racer in TX, cobbled together by some guy named "Bubba". The motor is the best part, built by Pacific Performance Racing in CA. I've always wanted a '73 455 T/A, so I'm building one out of a '74. Already have the front-end pieces, just need the rear fascia.
